Periodically (in the nature of 2 to 5 days) my Firefox will remove a selected setting that autofills my passwords to various familiar sites. Specifically, the box labeled "Ask to save passwords", is the box that will 'uncheck' itself. I want it to stay checked. How do I make it stay checked?

Firefox is asking me for my primary password, but I've never set one up. If I try to turn off using the primary password, it says I have to enter the current primary password to do so. Firefox only started asking me for a primary password earlier today. I tried to log into my Mozilla account, but it said I didn't have one. I've created one now, but still can't get past the screen asking for my primary password. My email address is alexduckett1@yahoo.com

I recall having the "clear cookies on closing" option disabled, but after having to restart my computer today I was logged out of everything: YouTube, Gmail, Twitter, etc etc. Is there any other setting that could trigger something like this or is it just a bug? If the latter, is there any way I can fix it?

Please Help - I'm doing something wrong. Firefox makes me log in to websites when I have saved the password and kept the cookies. Why? Obviously I don't understand firefox's password procedures.

In my settings my user name and password are saved for specific sites. (others I have set to Never remember) Password options are set as follows: Ask to save passwords - ticked Fill usernames and passwords automatically - ticked Suggest strong passwords - ticked Suggest Firefox Relay email masks to protect your email address - ticked Show alerts about passwords for breached websites - ticked Require device sign in to fill and manage passwords - not ticked Use a Primary Password - not ticked Allow Windows single sign-on for Microsoft, work, and school accounts - not ticked

Cookies and Site Data settings are: Delete cookies and site data when Firefox is closed - ticked In the “Exceptions”/ Exceptions for Cookies and site data option all the web sites which I want to keep and log in automatically are listed with “allow” In other words, I am trying to delete Cookies by default, but keep them for these specific websites, as an exception.

I therefore expect Firefox to automatically log me into those specific websites when I visit them So why does Firefox make me log in again every time I visit those specific websites?

Recently, Firefox stopped asking to save passwords, which has caused some issues. I read that "private browsing" prevents password saving, but is Mozilla VPN the same as private browsing? Do I need to turn VPN off & on whenever creating/changing passwords? Thanks! Melissa B.

Firefox not saving Bankwest PAN number when asked to

When I go to Bankwest online banking, I first put in an 8 digit PAN number and tick the box to SAVE this. Then I subsequently put in my password and the connection is correctly made. Next time I log in, the PAN number is never there. This is very inconvenient as obviously I have so many passwords, etc. to remember. when I used to use Safari, there was no problem. You do put a warning not to save this if the computer is available to multiple users but mine is not. Can you please help me?

This is not exactly "passwords and sign-in" but it was the closest option I could find. The problem is with logging into websites via Firefox. If I have not saved a password, the dialog box that comes up asks me if I want to save the password and offers the options save, don't save, never save. But "never save" never works. I have to answer it every time. Is this the expected behavior?

For several weeks the Dashlane addon has been failing to function and customer service has failed to respond to all messages. Signing on was a simple matter of entering user email address, then the password. For several weeks entering user email address opens a required instruction to enter a code number set instead of the password, saying the code was sent to the email address. The email number perpetually never arrives. Neither do responses to email notices/inquires directly sent to Dashlane. Has Elon Musk fired everybody at Dashlane or is Trump in charge?
